Seeing as there's been no development on the issue for some time, I here present my idea behind a SICK flag/symbol.
Here is the picture itself:
Now this is a just a rought draft, let me explain how I imagine a future flag.
First let us begin by looking at SICK: Silver Inferno Crusading Knights. All of these words need to be linked into the symbol.
Silver
Originally I wanted a silvery flame, but my brother insisted that it looked retarded, so I've settled for a silver sword for now. (Silver is also the name our the guild's Leader. SIlversurfnstud)
Inferno
Fire. We need fire in our symbol, period. (Inferno is also the name of the very first guild in Diablo 1)
Crusading
Crusading, unlike the other three words, is a verb, so there's no way of visually representing it like the others. For now it doesn't bother me that much, you get the idea from the context.
Knight
Since a person should never be the focus of a symbol, we need an item that represents the knight, and what better than his sword?
The actual sword was just what he found in all haste, a better one is of course going to be present in the final version. The font can also be changed to something else, and I'm confident that given time he can improve the fire from its current status.
Key here is simplicity. A symbol should not be cluttered or advanced, just a simplel symbol that is easy to remember. The details are of course important, but anyone should be able to imagine the whole of it in their head after only seeing it once.
But before I try to convince him to do any improvements I want some feedback. If this is crap to you then no use starting with anything new, and if it's great, then suggestions are always welcome.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
oh and hows the video coming Darkjay, if at all, i get you may be busy, but if you have some time it would be greatly appreiated by all of us if you could work on it some more, or just host up what you have so far for version 2.
-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
i love this flag...for the reason that it is very simple, yet impressive. work off this. your reasoning is excellent phrozen. i want to see more versions.
i still like the symbol Carloseus did for version 3.
but this one is very good also

Heh, I'll see what I can do (read: I'll see if I can "convince" my brother ;)).

we expressed our views that PhrozenDragon's concept was very good. and some more work on a symbol is long overdue, but Carloseus has worked hard on the previous 3 symbol concepts, i provided links on the previous page.
we have also made a short video for the guild, a link is provided on the first page. though work on the second version has halted. there appears to be issues tranferring it form one person to the next.
